passenger coach and the sleeper
both careened slightly to the i-idc, but

were many on board the passenger

Important Notice.?As has been
previously announced to the public,
Mr. Reynolds will seve:* his connection
with this paper on December 31st.
In order that the business of the
present linn may be settled, it is absolutely
necessary that all indebtedness
to the; paper shall be satisfactorily
arranged before that date. There are
a !arge number of delinquent subsubscribers
on the books, whom we
urgently request to come up and settle.
Of course this notice does not apply to
regular contract advertisements which
do not expire until the 1st of January.
Gors*g wf.st.?We learn from a gentleman
who was in town on Monday,
that agents are busy at work in the
western section of the county getting
up crowds of negroes to go West.
Some of those agents are colored men
who went ont ec-veral years ago, and
have coine back to induce others of
their race to try the great West. It
has, howover, leaked out that these
men are simply regular employed
agents, and do not represent the laboring
class on the Western farms. A
large number of colored people have
j signified their willingness to go, and
I will leave as soon as arrangements can
i be made for their their transportation.

Rkfoumixg the Sheriffs.?Two
bills relating to the sheriff's office and
duties have recently passed the House.
One providing that at the close of
each term of the Court of Sessions,
i the Clerk of Court shall notify the
i superintendent of the penitentiary of
the number of convicts for transportation,
and upon this no'ifijati' n the
superintendent is required to send a
fuard and transport the prisoners to
the penitentiary without cost to the
county. The other provides for a redaction
of the fee for dieting prisoners
from thirty to twenty-five cents per
day. It seems that they are going to
have prisoners fed very pooriv, or
that they are going to pay very poorly
for their management by the Sheriff.

the Liew Law came up for consideration
recently, and war. defeated by an
overwhelming majority. Our Representatives
should be congratulated
upon the view which they took of the
matter. A repeal of the law at this
time would have been a serious blow
to the farmers of the State. While ic
is not such a security as one would
desire, it enables the man of moderate
means to obtain at least the necessities
of life. There were only twentyseven
votes cast in favor of its repeal,
j and these were distributed among the
avocations of life as follows: fanners

ladies of town have taken this matter
in hand, and held a meeting on Monday
afternoon at which final arrangements
were perfected. Santa Claus,
dressed in the apparel with which
children ave familiar, will be there, the
delight of all young hearts and old
ones too. He will distrimte a handsome

A Rougii Wixter.-?Prof. Proctor,
a weather prophet of Iowa, sometime
since predicted that we are 1o have a
j rough winter, and so far. the start is
i good. The Professor says: To be
j forewarned is almost equal to being j
i well armed. Following the drouth j
will be a long, cold, stormy winter,
with a large amount of snow. There ;
| will be some beautiful weather bej
tween this and the middle of Decem!
ber, and then, for at least three months :
] extreme cold and snow blockades. Of
j course the cold will not be continuous, .
j but during all this long period there
will be general thaw, as we often have
the last of January or in February.
Such winters always cause great suf-j
fering to man and beast, and the wise j
will provide plenty of fuel, repair!
their dwellings and prepare good j
shelter- for slock. We foratold the:
great drough of this year many months :
before it commenced, and the forces;
that control the drouth also control;
the winters as to their severity or'
I mildness. There is no superstition, j
no guess-work, no astrology about!
these predictions, but the calculations j
are made from what is known of the
laws of nature, and if mistakes occur
it is from miscalculations, as in any
other mathematical problem.

Trouble in York County.
In last week's issue we published an
account of the brutal murder of a little
boy, John Lee Goode, in York county,
by four negroes. Developments have
brought to light a serious condition of j
affairs in the Broad River section of
that county. It seems that there has:
been a cla?.0? club organized in that
section of the county, under the name
of the "Rising StaV Lodge, No. 34, of
the Grand United Order of National \
Laborers and Protection Society of jj
North America." The avowed pur-1
pose of the Lodge referred to is pltin-1
der, and if necessary murder to their jj
crime of plunder. The facts as we are j
able to gather them, are about as fol- i
lows: The jury of inquest in investi- j!
gating the murder of the little boy j
found out certaiu facts which led them
to believe that there was some secret'
organization in the county, whose j
movements should be investigated. ^
A close examination of the four
negroes who were lodged in jail on
the charge of murdering the little boy,
led to a confession of one of the namber,
which implicated all in jail and
quite a nnmber in the county. One of j
the rules of the Order was to kill any S
one who detected them in their crimes,
and this rule caused them to murder
the little boy, as he had caught them
stealing his father's cotton. The members
were around, and one of them
related the entire circumstances of the I!
- .. . .i
billing of Goode, and an effort wnicft ;;
had been made to waylay a gentleman j
on the road and assassinate him, be- *
cause one the number had seen him at
a store with some money. Fortunate-1
ly his horse was frightened near the [
spot where he was to have been killed
and he passed before they could accomplish
their hellish purpose. This
statement is corroborated by the man
himself as to his horse being frightened,
and othercircumstancec. Twenty- '
J six of the number have been arrested \
! and lodged in jail. On Tuesday au j
j armed body of about one hundred men j
rode into Yorkville undisguised, with j
the determination of lynching the four i
negroes charged with the murder of
the little bvy, after the confession of
one of their number stating the circumstance*;,
btet Sheriff Glenn had
learned of the proposed raid and had
sent the six prisoners then lodged in
j jail, by way of Gastonia to Columbia
- * J
for safe keeping, ine crotvu emcreu
the jail and after search and a full
statement that they were not there,
lsft without, accomplishing their purpose.
The six prisoners in charge of au
officer passed down on the south-bound
train on Thursday en route to Columbia.
The full facts as brought out by
confession and examination by the |
jury of inquest, reveal an alarming
state of affairs in the county. As
much as we are opposed to mob law,
we caunot but feel a slight regret that
the crowd who entered the jail, with a
determined purpose, did not find the
objects of thoir search.

Messrs. Editors: Christmas is al-1
most here, and the children are beginning
to look forward to the coming of
Santa Claus. Though the times are ;
hard, every effort ought to be made to j
make it a time of happiness to the j
voung. "The recollections of child-!
" ^ j
hood are never wholly obliterated j
from the mind. Make the days at =
home so happy that when the children
have grown to maturity, and have j
passed from your influence out into
the world's toil and strife, they may :
look back upon their childhood as a j
joyous, beautiful and sacred portion of j
their lives." The weary traveler too, '
on the highway of life, should lay i
aside his cares for the time; remembering
it is the natal day of Him whose
advent the angels heralded with songs
I
of "peace and good-will to men."
I would suggest among the gifts of j
the season, that a scrap-book is one of j
the most appropriate. "What more |
pleasant and instructive employment j
for rainy days can there be, than ar- j
ranging the scraps that have been j
clipped from the papers from time to
time? Time does not drag heavily i
i
while so engaged, and many a bit of j
kiiowledi e is fixed in memory. I have i
three. One was begun before and con- i
tinned through the war, and what j
treasures they are to me! How often
are thev the umpire in some question i
of interest. How I enjoy reading of i
the gallant deeds of our "boys in 1
grey," and my heart is stirred to its j
depths by memories of some who gave !
their young lives for the Cause they i
loved.
Crops are indeed short and our
farmers have cause for looking blue;
yet He, who "tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb," will, I trust, provide for
the needs of all.
Those who "dusted in" wheat a few

All pay the tax ami all should enjoy i
its benefits. Now many are remote I
from the schools, and unable to board j
in convenient distance of them; and I
think where this is the case, and where
ten or twelve scholars conld be collected,
the parents of same outjht to be allowed
a portion cf the fund to assist in
paying a teacher. By adopting this
plan all woald be benefitted, and no
room left for grumbling. The attention
of our School Commissioner is
